Six Organs of Admittance as an electric entity
is not without precedent. Ben Chasnyregularly performs with a full,
electric band, often cascades an electric guitar solo in the middle of an
acoustic jam, and has recorded entire sides of electric drone. This element
goes all the way back to 2002, when a short-lived rock version of Six Organs
(with the members of Comets on Fire) toured the West Coast and
etched a few demos to tape before moving on. Ten years later, with the idea to
record new songs as a full rock band firmly entrenched in his mind, Chasny
warped over to Tim Green's Louder Studioswith members
of Comets as his backing band. He emerged with Ascent, the
rollicking realization of the Six Organs full band experience.
No, these aren't those dusty old 2002 moments with the dust
blown off. We live today, and so does Six Organs of Admittance! To manipulate
the past would change the world forever. Instead, the time line for Ascent occurs
on our identical Earth, on the other side of the sun, telescoping the strength
and power of that moment in 2002 and it's electri-Six-O after-affects by
viewing it through the mind's opera-glass, in the present. From the opening red
storm of "Waswasa" to the sentinel strength of "Even
If You Knew" and the sensual lilt of "Visions (From
Io)," the sound of this Six Organs is that of full-tilt
rock band. The fun and fury of electric Six Organs of Admittance is evidenced
in every molten groove.
Ascent will reach this Earth via Drag City
Records come August 21st.
